Poetry UK, English Poems, Lake District Poet. Free Verse in the UK, Lancashire
and Cumbria Artist. Poems and verse, Ted Hughes and Ginsberg combine to create
one of England's finest new talents. The poetry and prosae of The Poet Ivor
Griffiths is outstanding. Having learned the craft of writing in the white
heat of life's furnace of creation he has immersed himself in the gothic and

rarely discovered, perhaps once in a century will poems by Ivor Griffiths emerge

Shakespeare. He creates p[rose of such vivid imagery and symbolism that Post
Moderniist critics can barely disguise their admiration for such fine prose.
